Traditional Faroese wooden fishing boats and the hand-built coastal paths inspired the wooden structure and concrete base of the building.
The terminal is located close to the Faroese parliament and was once the primary gateway between the Faroe Islands and the rest of the world. A terrace ramp offers the public impressive views, and the office features an expansive private internal garden. Visualisation credit ELEMENT. Henning Larsen
The Feldballe School extension in Rønde, Denmark has been designed by architects Henning Larsen using almost entirely bio-based materials such as wood and straw. The building uses natural and passive ventilation systems, together with solar panels, which are expected to eliminate energy consumption daily. The architects are now scaling up the model for a 13,000-square-meter project. Photo Rasmus Hjortshøj. Henning Larsen
